THE GERMAN NEW YEAR.
The Peculiar Manner in Which the
Year Is Welcomed i'm the Land of

year IS welcomed IN the Land OF
the Teuton.
AS the old year dies its successor is well
coined by Christian people the world
around. Each nation, after its own pecu-
liar fashion, greets the little stranger, and
in each country the last hours of the old
year and the dawn of the new are variously
spent. In many a church in America
to- night prayers will ascend and blessings
be asked while the old year is dying. In
MANY festive ballroom the gay throng
will dance out the old and dance in the new.
but in American homes the people Will re-
tire the same as on the 1854 other nights of
the year; they may ruminate, perhaps, ON
the deeds OF the past and contemplate
pleasurably OF otherwise the things yet to
be, but as for losing precious hours of
sleep, the practical American thinks that
all foolishneSS, and he sleeps soundly dur
ing the dying hours. nor dreams that new
account with Time is opened for
him. In German lands it is
not so. There happy homes were
scenes of joy at the midnight hour of yes
terday, and the new year was welcomed
with wine and song. Three years ago a
party of Americans found themselves in a
''pension" in Frankfort, Germany. The
house stood in queer street in
the anlager. called III English trans
lation. 1.-THE other way" 1t was
reached from the city by passing
through the old "Esenheimer Turn" and
then by devious windings. confusing to the
poor Westerners. the streets led into this
quiet way, which had an air of repose very
gratifying after the long roll of ocean. from
which the party had come by the first
Bremen train to reach Frankfort in time
for the holiday season. They quite filled
the clearinghouse, and were constant
source OF amazement to the simple German
frauleins, three in number, who presided
over it; for all were Western people, Cali
fornia, Iowa, Minnesota and Michigan
being represented, and to them all German
life was as a sealed book-a book they were
anxious to open and study, and for thai
purpose had chosen this retired home
instead of public hotel, and their German

The Hallway Company Censured.

At the coroner's inquest held yesterday
over the remains of John Endtler, the man
who was killed on the Milwaukee Short
Line bridge Thursday afternoon, the fire
man and engineer testified that the man
was walking on the bridge and
that they did not see the engine
strike HIM. From the examination Of
his head it appeared that he had been
struck on the right temple, probably by the
steps Of the baggage car. and then, falling
forward, struck his forehead upon an iron
bolt. The jury found that the deceased
came to his death by his own negligence,
but censured the railroad company because
the train did not stop to ascertain how
serious the mans injuries were, and
allowed the body to lie on the bridge until
a messenger had been sent out from the
